Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall Training Ground.

"It's actually a team transport supply mission, the contribution for this is a lot."

"The newbies are really in luck this time, right from the start they can roam the wild to earn points and contributions, and there's guidance from seniors. I sure didn't get this kind of treatment back in the day."

"Elite disciples have it the best. If they could bring five new disciples, they'd earn two thousand contributions just by completing one transport supply mission. The speed of earning contributions is several times faster than at Red Moon Mountain, and this time we get to visit the new map, Fenglin Town. It's just too awesome."

Everyone looked at the latest announcement posted by Lin Qi, and whether they were newbies or old players, they were all excited beyond measure.

With the time-limited event over, there's no longer a way to quickly earn a large number of points and contributions. They can only slowly accumulate by completing daily tasks.

But even after a full day of daily tasks, for old players earning two hundred contributions is considered good, and most old players only earn a little over a hundred contributions a day. As for points, although they're very important, they still lag significantly behind contributions.

Especially since the new version opened up the identity of core disciples, everyone who isn't a fool understands the importance of the core disciple identity.

Once you obtain the identity of a core disciple, not only can you buy larger private land at Red Moon Mountain, but you also get Level 1 wilderness exploration permissions. You are free to explore within a hundred-kilometer radius of Red Moon Mountain, and the wealth and opportunities you find then are incomparable to just doing tasks at Red Moon Mountain and the Martial Arts Hall.

However, the contribution needed for the core disciple identity is a whopping five hundred thousand contributions. Even the top five from the last version event don't have that much contribution.

If you only do daily tasks, it would take ten years to accumulate five hundred thousand contributions. But this team transport supply mission is a great opportunity to earn a large number of contributions, although the points rewarded are few, the contributions rewarded are more than ten times greater than usual.

"This team transport mission is really peculiar." At the announcement board, Twilight of the Gods, resting his chin on his hand, was staring intently at the announcement posted by Lin Qi.

"What's so peculiar about it?" The Outer Gunman next to him carefully examined the announcement and found nothing unusual, completely similar to the usual tasks posted.

"I mean this team mission has no restrictions on number or power levels." Twilight of the Gods pointed to previous team mission announcements and said, "Previously, our team missions almost always had number restrictions, or power level restrictions, but this team mission only mentions the additional rewards brought by identity, with absolutely no other restrictions. Don't you find that strange?"

The Outer Gunman looked at previous mission announcements and found it was just as Twilight of the Gods said.

"Could there be more to this team mission than meets the eye?" The Outer Gunman looked over the mission announcement carefully once more.

"I suspect this mission might not be simple." Twilight of the Gods explained, "Before, the Martial Artist Association specially sent someone here, and then the Hall Master released a new announcement, and the contribution rewards are unprecedentedly high. I estimate the mission difficulty isn't low. This game's developers are quite cunning, releasing all missions without indicating their difficulty level, leaving it entirely to us to guess."

"The last night raid on the Great Ape Gang's main camp was definitely the toughest mission we've taken since starting this game, it almost wiped us out. But it was only limited by level, just like other missions. This time there's no restriction on team members, so I guess the difficulty could be even higher. It's not just about veterans leading newbies."

"I think next time we should give feedback to the game developers to add a difficulty setting for missions, which would also help increase gameplay and challenge. Otherwise, doing the same tasks repeatedly becomes monotonous and boring."

While Twilight of the Gods was talking, Lin Qi, who had not yet left, heard what he was saying.

"That's actually a good suggestion, for the next version update, let's add this in." Lin Qi nodded, strongly agreeing with what Twilight of the Gods said.

And Lin Qi not only planned to set mission difficulties, but also to set different levels of tasks based on identity. This would further increase the importance of the Martial Arts Hall identity, prompting players to strive harder to earn contributions.

"So, does that mean this mission is going to be really hard?" The Outer Gunman asked excitedly.

Originally, the Outer Gunman wasn't very interested in this mission, as the contributions offered, although plentiful, couldn't compare to the importance of advancing quickly to their next job class.

Now the top-tier experts are all desperately changing classes within the Martial Arts Hall. If they don't catch up, the gap will only continue to widen.

But now, hearing Twilight of the Gods' speculation, the Outer Gunman felt that this mission was indeed worth attempting.

In any game, difficulty and rewards are directly proportional. The toughest night raid on the Great Ape Gang almost wiped them out, but the rewards were exceptional as well. Thanks to the rewards from that mission, they got very good equipment, which significantly reduced the difficulty of subsequent missions.

Now there's another high-difficulty mission, and it naturally can't be missed.

"I'm just saying it seems likely. Since this team mission has no restrictions, it's encouraging us veteran players to participate, so the task difficulty should be considerable," Twilight of the Gods added uncertainly.

This game, as he played it up to now, was definitely the most brain-draining, the most effortful, and the freest game he has ever played. It all relies on analysis and speculation, as everything needs to be explored independently. It's hardcore to the extreme.

"With your words, that's enough for me. I trust you!" The Outer Gunman patted Twilight of the Gods on the shoulder, giving him an encouraging look.

The conversation between Twilight of the Gods and the Outer Gunman left a lot of nearby newbies in awe, exclaiming that Twilight of the Gods was a genius player.

"Brothers, anyone want to form a group? I've heard this mission is extremely tough, and it's hard to complete it solo."

"A wealthy patron is forming a group, calling all experts. Newbies, get ready, all of you in A6 Battle Armor. Newcomers wishing to join will also be provided with A6 Battle Armor for free by the patron, but eight percent of mission gains must be handed over during the mission period."

"A Martial Artist Level expert is forming a group, calling all powerful newbies, preferably those who have learned the Thunder Light Palm. Free overnight lessons available to teach you the Hand-Crafted Super Electromagnetic Cannon, and for those who haven't learned it, no worries. I'm offering point loans, and all it takes is handing over sixty percent of mission earnings during the task duration."

...

For a moment, the training ground of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall almost turned into a marketplace. Either newcomers were looking for teams, or veteran players were recruiting, creating such a lively scene that even Lin Qi was left speechless.

He didn't understand what these newcomers thought of this mission. One by one, they acted not like they were going on a transportation mission, but as if they were gearing up to face a world boss.

Right from the start, a group of rich members equipped themselves with A6 class battle armor. Surprisingly, they also planned to equip other newcomers with A6 class battle armor, clearly intending to form a team of over a hundred in A6 class battle armor for the transportation task.

If the bandits in the wilderness saw this, they would definitely think the convoy was not carrying supplies, but a royal procession.

And all of this was just the beginning.

Due to the veterans' reminders, these newcomers went crazy finding loans to learn the Thunder Light Palm technique. They even ignored the Shattering Stone Fist and Leopard Shadow Step, focusing solely on unleashing the Super Electromagnetic Cannon, fearing their attack power wouldn't be enough to kill their enemies.

If Lin Qi hadn't forbidden players from damaging any of the Martial Arts Hall's structures, every player learning the Thunder Light Palm would have practiced in the underground tunnels, and Lin Qi would have suspected the entire Martial Arts Hall had been destroyed.

Two hundred people simultaneously crafting Super Electromagnetic Cannons— that scene was nothing short of spectacular.

Were it not for the fact that new players are too weak, not even reaching the level of an apprentice, a single blast from each of them might have turned half of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall into ruins.

But due to the relentless practice of these newcomers, the caverns under the Martial Arts Hall became much brighter, saving on electric lights.

In various spots underground, beams of light periodically flashed, and occasionally players would fall to the ground, bleeding all over, their blood nourishing the soil, causing the blood essence rice to grow exceptionally well.

Deep within the maze tunnels beneath the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

"Vice President, I've brought all the newcomers." Lin Xinyao approached Lu Fanchen, who had been cultivating deep in the tunnels, and pointed to the guild members who had entered Descent of High Martial this time and some newcomers who joined Mythical Paradise.

At that moment, Lu Fanchen's body seemed somewhat inflated, noticeably larger by more than two rounds compared to before, and his height exceeded two meters, comparable to the indigenous people of the high martial arts world. Yet, the blood qi emanating from him was incredibly intense.

So intense that the seventeen newcomers present couldn't help but feel a bit frightened, instinctively wanting to step back, as if standing before them was not a human, but a demon lord with slightly reddish skin.

"Hmm, not bad, quite a lot of people this time." Lu Fanchen looked at the seventeen newcomers present, expressing satisfaction, "I don't care if you originally belonged to our Mythical Paradise or are newcomers joining today. You are all very lucky. Tonight, I will teach you abilities that other groups have never mastered. Once you grasp them, you can get ahead of other players in the future."

"Especially for tomorrow's team transportation mission, once you master them, the effects will be far superior to those commonplace Super Electromagnetic Cannons."

On hearing this, the seventeen newcomers couldn't help feeling excited, especially those who joined the game today. They hadn't imagined that joining Mythical Paradise would allow them to learn skills even more powerful than the Super Electromagnetic Cannon.

In no time, all seventeen newcomers stood a bit straighter, and their gazes towards Lu Fanchen became much more earnest.

"Very well, now you will first cultivate the First Layer of the Breathing Technique and the Fixed Star Explosion Visualization Technique here. We will guide you step by step, and as long as you follow our instructions, tomorrow you will become the envy of all newcomers." Lu Fanchen nodded, motivating these newcomers to increase their enthusiasm.

Seeing that all the newcomers were ready, Lu Fanchen and the others also began their formal teaching.

The Thunder Fire Self-Destruct Technique is not difficult to master. All it requires is for players to enter the Fixed Star Explosion Visualization Technique, allowing the violent energies within the tunnels to wash over them repeatedly, alongside mastering the control of power, enabling them to perish together with a quasi-martial artist in minutes.

It can be said that this is an unbeatable martial art below the level of a martial artist!

This is also the method Lu Fanchen believes will allow Mythical Paradise to catch up with Celestial Might.

The Super Electromagnetic Cannon is indeed a very universal attacking technique, and as Thunder Force strengthens, its power increases, allowing battles above one's level—a true divine skill.

However, the Thunder Fire Self-Destruct Technique that Mythical Paradise has mastered possesses far greater power. With the enhancement of one's power, it also scales up, and although it has limited use against martial artists for now, for enemies below the martial artist level, it can be lethal.

Once all seventeen newcomers have mastered it, Mythical Paradise will surely outperform Celestial Might in group battles in the future.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, a whole night had passed.

Second floor of Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, elite disciple lounge.

Boom!

Like a volcano, a surge of qi and blood erupted, with waves of heat continuously impacting the surrounding walls, causing the entire lounge to tremble.

"I did it!"

Luo Wushang couldn't help but open her eyes, her beautiful eyes full of surprise. After spending more than half a day and dying no fewer than nine times, she finally managed to practice the Shocking God Breathing Technique's second layer at an introductory level, completing the last step of the martial artist's advancement.
